I recently installed Windows XP on another Hard Drive in my vista computer and got everything running smoothly until I went to burn a DVD and then a CD. My Drive shows up as a DVD-RAM Drive until i put any kind of media in it and then it shows up as a CD-ROM drive. When i open up Windows media player and click on the burn button it says connect a burner and restart the computer. It does the same thing on my laptop as well. I tried deleting the Upper and Lower filters on my laptop but when i got in the registry folder there were none. Any Help would be appreciated.

you could try uninstalling the drive from xp and then restart once with it unhooked and then shut down reattche drive and see if it reinstalles and works...

Short of that and double checking that the filters aren't set... the only other idea I have is to try a new or repair install of xp.... or maybe go to lite-ons website and see if there is an update for that drive or if that drive has issues with xp.
